How many movies has the MPAA censored today?
7 September 2006
John Waters continues his trashing of "traditional" Americanism with the raucous "Cecil B. DeMented", in which an indie filmmaker (Stephen Dorff) kidnaps an air-head actress (Melanie Griffith) and makes her star in his anti-Hollywood flick in which they go around attacking anything associated with Tinseltown - especially family-oriented stuff. And the best part: he's working with a budget of zero! It's like the Patty Hearst story taken one step further (Ms. Hearst even appears in the movie).

This seems like the sort of movie that had probably been in the works for years. Regardless of anyone's opinion of "Forrest Gump" and "Patch Adams", we can likely agree that they don't need to get extended. A really funny, great movie. Also starring Mink Stole and Kevin Nealon.

Choosing the "Flintstones" sequel over a Pasolini movie. I bet that some people would do that.
